Political Slants

Hacktivism is predominantly left wing. Most widely publicized incidents involving hacktivism groups have been attacks against websites belonging to government entities, police departments, and the Department of Homeland Security in retaliation for backlashes against online file sharing and police evictions of the socialistOccupy Wall Street protestors. Some notable right wing hacktivists include the "Digg Patriots", a much condemned group involved in the censorship of Digg.com.
